Because of course; why just buy a Chaos Marine codex when you can shell out for a World Eaters one, too? And then a Death Guard one, and then Emperor’s Children, then Thousand Sons…

Anyways, WE are getting an army book and some new models as well.

See … this is what I dislike about these subfaction codexes (codices ?)

It’s that they kill any source of fun and creativity by turning one faction into a slightly different skinned subfaction with official ‘rules’ and ‘models’

Ye olde ‘Realm of Chaos’ books were soo much better. You picked your alignment (Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch or Slaanesh) and everything else flowed from there with lots of randomness so no two armies or units were alike.

So here we are … a chaos space marine variant book that has to repeat half a dozen stats and backgrounds, unless they want you to buy the ‘basic’ chaos spacemarine codex too. There’s no colour … no theme, no nothing that makes this codex anything other than yet another list of stats and point values. Heck, I’d argue that the only reason it exists is so they’ve got another book for those crusade rules.

/rant …

sidenote : where are my Snakeeater and Freebooterz codexes ? And why were all eldar factions dumped into one codex instead of split like they were ? Can GW ever decide how they want to ruin the not-spacemarine factions ?

hmm … I shall shut up.

Back on subject … there is plenty of interesting bits that could be done with a subfaction codex.
I suspect GW will do none of them.

Has anyone already read it?

Its only been announced, so far no details have been released. Apparently they’re doing sometime after the Chaos Codex and there’ll be something in White Dwarf first to tie us over until the book comes out.

I’m pretty excited to see what they do with the World Eaters as I have an army that’s been sitting in a cupboard for two years. I was just going to run a fluffy thematic Chaos Marine army but I guess we’ll see later this year (hopefully).

Looks like the next issue of White Dwarf will feature a small version of the army lists for World Eaters to allow us to play them until the codex is released.

This will be my first White Dwarf for over 20 years.
